Top Free Agent Landing Spots for Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore: Post NFL Draft

The sequel isn't as good as the original, just as the second wave of free agency isn't as good as the first. Still, veteran wideouts remain on the market for receiver-needy teams.

2025 Free-Agent Tight Ends Preview

Dynasty Fantasy Football TE Rankings and 2025 Outlooks: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Sam LaPorta

Hunter will hear his name […]

That made it even more of a bummer when other big-name rookies and first-round picks didn't burst onto […]

Will the Tennessee Titans Take a Quarterback With the No. 1 Overall Pick in the 2025 NFL Draft?

A 3-14 record (and the benefit of tiebreakers) put the Tennessee Titans on the clock for the 2025 NFL Draft. Inconsistent (to put it politely) quarterback play led to a pile of losses in Nashville. Between Will Levis, Marcus Mariota, Vince Young, and more, Ryan Tannehill has the most successful stretch in Tennessee since Steve […]

Will Jalen Milroe Be A First-Round Pick In The 2025 NFL Draft?

A great quarterback leads to wins. A mediocre quarterback puts a team at the top of the draft order, or worse, purgatory. That's why teams will gamble on quarterbacks with question marks in the NFL Draft. Fixing accuracy or turnover issues can vault a franchise into a contender. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe enters the 2025 […]

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 17 times for 67 yards and caught three passes for 15 yards in the team's 27-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Dalton Kincaid Remains A Middling TE Option Against Baltimore

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) continues to be underutilized in the Buffalo offense.
